The idea of reversing the negativity of “Sukiyaki” from 4PM into a hopeful lyrics is ingenious.
This is what we expect from Mary J Blige. A bounce back track and all filled with emotional.

I just got back from vacation and I feel revved up. Only once I start doing something, my energy gets sapped up quick.
It’s time for some workout, I’m only preparing for the great near future. =D

It’s all because of you
I’m never sad and blue
You’ve brightened up my days
In your own special way
Whenever you’re around
I’m never feeling down
You are my trusted friend
On you I can depend

[Bridge]
You take me away
From the pain
And you bring me paradise
And when there were cloudy
days you brought sunshine in my life
It never occurred
To me the first time I saw your face
I would fall so deep in love
That your love can’t be replaced

[Chorus:]
You are my everything (you are my everything)
love so good, so good only you can bring
You are my everything
You are everything
and everything is you

[Vs.1]
It’s all because of you
I’m never sad and blue
You’ve brightened up my days
In your own special way
Whenever you’re around
I’m never feeling down
You are my trusted friend
On you I can depend

[Bridge]
You take me away
From the pain
And you bring me paradise
And when there were cloudy
days you brought sunshine in my life
It never occurred
To me the first time I saw your face
I would fall so deep in love
That your love can’t be replaced

[Chorus:]
You are my everything (you are my everything)
love so good, so good only you can bring
You are my everything
You are everything
and everything is you

[Vs.2]
My darling only you
Can make my dreams come true
And every night I pray
You’ll never go away
I promise I will try
Until the day I die
To treat you like a king
Cause you are my everything

[Bridge]

[Chorus]

You are everything
And everything is you
[Repeat 4x]

When you’re lovin me
Put your lovin arms around me
When you’re lovin me
Said I feel so safe I found security
When you’re lovin me
Forever I want you home with me
My everything
my every every every everything

OK, I got these girls quite hype
Only thing on right now like a night light
Why my brother Wayne rockin out like a white stripe
I’ma kill the game, I’m the young money white Knight
Yep, plus I’m lookin for the right type
Cautious of a flood, so I always lay the right pipe
West put me on the mark… ??
Plus I go hard for the women that I might wife
I put the ring on the index finger
So if you wanna keep your girl, please don’t bring her
I bet that I’m the type of guy that she got a thing for
And you would block me but this aint Jenga
Yeah, and she’s someone I would work with
That’s what I can tell from what she showin on the surface
I’m aint sayin I’m requestin anyone that’s perfect
But I just need a woman that will make it all worth it

1:
Them other girls you dun been with
None of them got nothin’ on me
Aint got my style
They aint got nothin on me, nothin on me

Hey baby you need that
Chorus:
Stop lookin for her, lookin for her, I’m the
Stop lookin for her, lookin for her, I’m the
Stop lookin for her, lookin for her, I’m the one
Stop lookin for her, lookin for her, I’m the
Stop lookin for her, lookin for her, I’m the
Stop lookin for her, lookin for her, I’m the one

Boy don’t you know I’m the one (yeah I’m that)
Boy don’t you know I’m the one (yeah I’m her)
Boy don’t you know I’m the one (yeah I’m her)
2:
Let me break it down if you don’t get it

Way I walk, way I talk, my swagga
Boy you know every boss wanna have her
I aint sayin that I’m the best, but I’m the best
Hey baby you need that
Chorus
Rap:
Uh huh
OK, I got these girls quite hype
Only thing on right now like a night light
Why my brother Wayne rockin out like a white stripe

West put me on the mark… ??
Plus I go hard for the women that I might wife

Unfortunately I couldn’t find any orginal video or audio of this song from Mary J Blige. Anyway, I’ve posted up a rendition from Kaloni Springs from YouTube. It’s all about the lyrics anyway. (It ain’t all roses.. heey..)

See today I’m having one of them days where
I just don’t want to be bothered,
but it seems like you can’t understand that
because it’s your way or no way,
but check this out

I’ve had my ways, and I’ve had my share of ups and downs.
I been in trouble, and I couldn’t tell my ups from downs
welcome to the new definition of love

It ain’t all roses hey,
flowers imposing hey
said it ain’t all candy hey
this love stuff is demanding hey
Sometimes I need a hug [2x]

Sometimes I just wish you would just
put your arms around me
When I’m feeling so [4x] very needy
But instead you just turn your back
and say “suck it up”

oh you don’t know how I feel right now
If you knew how I’m feeling on the inside
you wouldn’t say “suck it up”
Now what tha’ cause

[Talk:]
See today I’m having one of them days where
I just don’t want to be bothered,
but it seems like you can’t understand that because it’s your way or no way,
but check this out
And I’m really, really sick and tired of you steppin’ into my little box
When I just don’t want to be bothered okay, so check this out.

[Verse 1:]
I’ve had my ways, and I’ve had my share of ups and downs.
I been in trouble, and I couldn’t tell my ups from downs
I been your baby, and I don’t know why you don’t seem like that no more
welcome to the new definition of love.

[Chorus:]
It ain’t all roses hey,
flowers imposing hey
said it ain’t all candy hey
this love stuff is demanding hey
Sometimes I need a hug [2x]

[Talk:]
See you just really wanna push all my buttons
Cause you Mr. Right & I’m Mrs. Wrong,
But right now today,
I’m going to be the one to sing this song
I’m going be Mrs. Right today it’s my way, or the highway
With you there’s just no getting around that I got to be bumping heads with you
What’s up with that?
Listen see

[Verse 2:]
I love my man, and I know my place I know my worth
I just can’t stand
to see myself as I hurt
it’s been along time, and I think that I can get a little more love from you
I know some of yall go through it too cause

[Chorus (2x):]

[Talk:]
Sometimes I just wish you would just put your arms around me
When I’m feeling so [4x] very needy
But instead you just turn your back and say “suck it up”
oh you don’t know how I feel right now
If you knew how I’m feeling on the inside you wouldn’t say “suck it up”
Now what tha’ cause

[Chorus (2x)]

[Bridge:]
It’ aint’ all roses you know,
Everybody ask me how good it is?
It’s great love is great
When you just a mess yourself, it ain’t gone be all roses.
Cause you just want your time
You wanna be selfish
You know you don’t want nobody messing with you
You just want to rip somebodies head off when they try to step to you with some “Oh! You need
some help, Oh! You need to figure it out” You figure it out [2x] You go figure It out, you suck
it up [laugh chuckle]

I’m a little dazzled and mixed up now. I guess I’m just tired. Rather.. attached.. somehow.. Geezz.. I need SLEEP!

Sometimes I really don’t wanna have to speak my mind
Cuz, I really don’t wanna tell you how I, am digging you so
I can’t let go, but it hurts me to my soul
I tell you every little thing that is on my mind, I can’t let you know so I hide it inside
All my feelings for you, don’t want you to, let it go to your head

I’ve been there and I’ve done that and I promise never to get hurt again, never again
You drive me crazy but I promise myself never to get hurt again, never again

[Verse 1]
Sometimes I really don’t wanna have to speak my mind
Cuz, I really don’t wanna tell you how I, am digging you so
I can’t let go, but it hurts me to my soul
I tell you every little thing that is on my mind, I can’t let you know so I hide it inside
All my feelings for you, don’t want you to, let it go to your head
I’m into you sometimes, but I can’t get you off my mind
So I hit you with the game, always trying to act like you loving doesn’t faze me when the
truth is that it amazes me
You know it’s a big lie cuz you can see right thru my eyes
How much I wanna hold you, give you all my loving, baby boy let me show
And I really wanna get to know you

[Chorus]
I’ve been there and I’ve done that and I promise never to get hurt again, never again
You drive me crazy but I promise myself never to get hurt again, never again

[Verse 2]
I can never, ever let you see me this way, so I take all my feelings and I tuck ’em away
Fronting like I don’t want you to hold me tight, so I act like I’m putting up a fight
To get your attention, and make you stay a while longer
So I tell you I don’t like it cuz I know that’ll make you wanna hold me tighter,
I can’t help myself I really like you

[Chorus (2x)]

I don’t deserve it,
I can never get hurt again, never get hurt again, never
I don’t deserve it,
I can never get hurt again never get hurt again, no

If death comes for me tonight, girl
I want you to know that I love you
And no matter how tough I wouldnt dare
Only to you I would reveal my tears
So tell the police I aint home tonight
Messin around with you is gonna get me life
But when I look into your eyes
Youre worth that sacrifice

If this is the kind of love that my mom used to warn me about
Man, Im in trouble
Im in real big trouble
If this is the kind of love that the old folks used to warn me about
Man, Im in trouble
Im in real big trouble
I need yall to do me a favor

Someone please call 911
Tell them I just been shot down
And the bullets in my heart
And its piercing through my soul

Then its worth the sacrifice

You know how it feels like when we just wanna go away.. just wanna disappear and not care about anything for a while.. Mary J Blige has this track on how it feels like and expresses it so well. It reminds me of Runaway Love. Anyway, do enjoy the sad song. Sing along and feel the tears rolling down your cheeks.. One day, just do that.. you’ll know what I mean.

Sometimes I wish that I can stand here and fade away.
(Sometimes)
Ohhh…
So that no one could see the tears running down my face.
(Sometimes)
Oh, invisibility would be great.

Ohhh….
Ohhh….

[Verse 1:]
It’s starting to rain again.
Everything’s gone now.
Even the sun.
It’s starting to rain again.
Don’t go away.
What have I done?
Hmmm…
I’ve been high and I’ve been low.
I’ve been wealthy and I’ve been poor.
I don’t know much.
But one thing I know, this ain’t no fun.
Hmmm….

[Chorus:]
Sometimes I wish that I can stand here and fade away.
(Sometimes)
Ohh…
So that no one could see the tears running down my face.
(Sometimes)
Oh, invisibility would be great.

[Verse 2:]
I painted a picture with her in his arms.
Hmmm….
It’s starting to rain again.
It’s all in my mind.
He’s done me no harm.
Hmmm…
I’ve been up and I’ve been down.
Through all my drama, he’s still around.
I can’t believe that even now I put us through the storm.
Ohhh…

[Chorus:]
Sometimes I wish that I can stand here and fade away.
(Sometimes)
Ohhh…
So that no one could see the tears running down my face.
(Sometimes)
Oh, invisibility would be great.

[Bridge:]
Couldn’t look at myself in the mirror.
Asking myself “How dumb could you be?”
Maybe everything would be much clearer if no one could see me.
Hmmm…
Ohhh…
Oh, invisibility would be great.
Ohhh…

[Chorus:]
Sometimes I wish that I can stand here and fade away.
(Sometimes)
Ohhh…
So that no one could see the tears running down my face.
Hey…
Hey…
Sometimes I wish that I can stand here and fade away.
(Sometimes)
Ohhh…
So that no one could see the tears running down my face.
(Sometimes)
Invisibility would be great.

Such a good definition of “Love”. It’s not all flowers and beauty, people.. It’s roses and thorns.

(And no one really knows anything about it)
But everybody needs it.
We can’t live without it.
(And that’s the way it goes.)
Darkest day, brightness night.
Just some other things you might hear if you ask what love feels like.

And it feels like joy, and it feels like pain.
And it feels like sunshine, feels like rain.
An excuse for dying, reason to live.
And if you don’t know, that’s what love is.
Love is.

Hmm…
Beautiful, horrible, magical, terrible.
Reason to laugh and smile.
Reason to cry yourself to sleep at night.
Start a fight. Make up, break up, wrong or right.
Heaven for all this work can
equally be hell right here on earth.
(And no one really knows anything about it)
But everybody needs it.
We can’t live without it.
And that’s the way it goes.
Darkest day, brightest night.
Just some other things you might
hear if you ask what love feels like.

And it feels like joy, and it feels like pain.
And it feels like sunshine, feels like rain.
An excuse for dying, reason to live.
And if you don’t know, that’s what love is.
Love is.
Oh..

Gentle kiss, sweet caress.
Kiss the base of your neck.
Argue until my head hurts, I can’t remember what you said.
Out, screaming loud, don’t know what were screaming ’bout.
So confused and yes its true, but if it wasn’t there what would we do?

(And no one really knows anything about it)
But everybody needs it.
We can’t live without it.
(And that’s the way it goes.)
Darkest day, brightness night.
Just some other things you might hear if you ask what love feels like.

And it feels like joy, and it feels like pain.
And it feels like sunshine, feels like rain.
An excuse for dying, reason to live.
And if you don’t know, that’s what love is.
Love is.

That’s love.
Anything that can bring you up or bring you down.
That’s love.
Leave the sun up in your sky of the darkest clouds.
That’s love. And we need it.
That’s love. And we need it.
That’s love.
Oh ask anybody how it feels

And it feels like joy, and it feels like pain.
And it feels like sunshine, feels like rain.
An excuse for dying, reason to live.
And if you don’t know, that’s what love is.
Love is.

And it feels like joy (joy), and it feels like pain (pain).
And it feels like sunshine, feels like rain.
An excuse for dying (oh), reason to live (oh).
And if you don’t know, that’s what love is.
Love is.
